This is easily among the least inconvenient of the last SEVERAL tours -- BELIEVE ME -- and it's really NOT the tour manager's fault.

First, you book the big festivals that basically pay for everything else in one fell swoop. Then you figure out which major venues have openings at least SOMEWHAT reasonably along a sensible path and you lock that shit down immediately. Then you start filling in dates along the way in between and it is whatever it is.

All of which obviously depends upon which festivals have space for you, which larger venues haven't already been locked down in advance, and which smaller ones make sense to rush back-and-forth to-and-from, and then you figure out the rest of that shit LATER on the NEXT leg because JMFC THIS SHIT IS HARD, lol.

At least the band gets to sleep...the rest of us roadtripping from state-to-state have to practically fucking SLEEPWALK between/at the goddamned shows.

It gets pretty exhausting and even dangerous but omfg that just makes it better.

Manson seems to almost EXCLUSIVELY tour in the DEAD of Summer and/or the DEAD of Winter. I can barely even remember more than a handful of shows where it wasn't either HOT AS FUCK or FREEZING FUCKING COLD, lol.
